About the CPD course
This 1-day introductory course provides an overview of the key issues faced by professionals when working with adult survivors of child sexual abuse. The training will enable professionals to improve their understanding of the impact of child sexual abuse and help them to respond effectively to adult survivors with whom they work. This course has been developed collaboratively with those with lived experience of child sexual abuse to ensure the training reflects their experiences and what they need from professionals.
The Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA) has been established to help bring about significant and system-wide change in how child sexual abuse is responded to locally and nationally. We will do this by identifying, generating and sharing high quality evidence of what works to prevent and tackle Child Sexual Abuse (including Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)), to inform both policy and practice.
We are encouraging all sectors and organisational levels to engage with us, so that we can understand the needs of frontline staff, commissioners and those with responsibility for producing strategic responses to child sexual abuse. Our initial focus is child sexual exploitation; however our remit over the longer-term covers all forms of child sexual abuse.
